EBIT outlook for full-year 2013

Second-quarter earnings are largely in line with our internal
expectations and thus also with our current outlook for the development of
EBIT in 2013. The current EBIT forecasts for the Daimler Group and its
divisions therefore continue to apply unchanged. On the basis of our
unchanged assumptions for the further development of our key markets and
the ongoing growth initiatives and efficiency programs, we continue to
assume that EBIT in the second half of the year will be higher than in the
first half.

These Q2 numbers are preliminary and have not yet been reviewed by the
external auditors. Daimler will publish its final results for the second
quarter along with other details in Interim Report Q2 2013 on July 24,
2013.
